bustle, can mislead as a hustle.then more run with serendipityand a generosity whose capacity expands with age

My town has them all;the buffoon, the merry men,a king, emperor, czar and godfathers both old and new school, mannered.suburban culture, stories awashemergenceto navigate a must at one's peril if it is to become home.

We do not have to live our lives forever defined by the damaging things that have happened to us.25 cents leads to $25 and musing ....A search for insights...metaphors versus reality... Deconstruction as each voice represents unresolved self. Much Q and A among the voices in my head.Q: If the world is Takers, Matchers, Givers (Give and Take - Adam Grant) ... how does this inform us as storytellers? A: Create empathy for the subject - Humanize the story.Q: Will this demand a sane reaction to insane circumstances?A: Depends, who is watching?

I tried to welcome the potential of a new habit today that included, inclusion. Several hours have past yet I remain uncertain.

I did find many turns of phrase connected me to a faint inner light that I have been keeping distant. The poet community appears welcoming, the sharing not totally self-absorbed and an occasional stanza or poem was pregnant with discovery. Most of the work did not feel final but I could sense the revision in some , the striving, the quest for fulfillment and the pleasure of a good line.

Revised a decade after inception with more exacting references, the poem I shared seemed to reach for, and touch, a more visceral place than the others. As the person owned by the words, the emotions and flow remained tangible. This pleased me.

I am drawn to narrative poems. The mix of metaphor and story that concludes with a better sense of knowing; a hope for timeless results - results that will sparkle in one's toes, mind and soul like a night sky contending with cloud cover.

Will gathering with others incentivize me or push me further away from what I know somewhere within is important for my being; I remain uncertain.

George Elliot ( of whom I wrote my Senior High English paper to the dismay of the teacher expecting T.S. Elliot) It is never too late to be who you might have been.

Victor Frankl (College Sociology 100) What man actually needs is not a tensionless state, but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of him. What he needs is not the discharge of tension at any cost, but the call of a potential meaning waiting to be fulfilled by him.
